0 goals in 8 games since joining Tottenham! Evening Standard: Mouani may miss 2 months due to jaw fracture

Hupu News on November 10 According to the English media "Evening Standard", during Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Manchester United last Saturday, Mouani was replaced at halftime and subsequently withdrew from the French national team due to a jaw injury. The striker was involved in a violent collision with Maguire early in the game and despite playing out the first half, French media reported that he suffered a broken jaw.

There is no official confirmation and specific recovery timetable, but there is news that Muani may face an injury of up to two months.

If the situation is true, Tottenham may decide to adjust the registration list for the remaining group stages of the Champions League. This season UEFA stipulates that if a club suffers a long-term injury to a player, it can replace an outfield player (non-goalkeeper player). "Long-term injury" is specifically defined as "lasting for at least 60 days from the date of occurrence of the injury." Liverpool invoked this rule to add Italian striker Chiesa to the list due to Leoni's injury this season.

Clubs are required to submit medical certificates to UEFA, and UEFA reserves the right to request further medical examinations by designated experts. The team can complete roster changes at the latest before the sixth matchday of the group stage (Tottenham's home game against Slavia Prague on December 9). If an injured player recovers early, he or she must still be suspended for at least 60 days before he can return. Thereafter, as long as the player reports 24 hours before the next game, the player can return to the list, and the replacement will automatically withdraw. This means that if Spurs decide to replace Muani now, the player could still return for the January games against Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.

If Mouani's injury is indeed serious, French forward Terr will be the most likely player to be added to the Champions League roster. Coach Frank did not include him in the initial roster, but Terr will bring a much-needed forward addition. Dominic Solanke has not yet met the conditions for his comeback, and Tottenham's frontcourt options are already stretched.

If the defense needs to be strengthened, Frank can theoretically consider Dragusin - the defender is expected to return to the first team roster after the international break. Kulusevski is also an alternative, but he will not be able to return until December at the earliest and will need time to return to form.
